135 (- ). PANSCOPUS IMPKESSUS Pierce, 1913, 395. 



"Black, very densely clad with aeneous to yellowish-brown scales with 

 intermixed setse. Scrohes deep, visible from above in entire length; scape 

 densely squamose, not reaching posterior margin of eye; funicular joints 

 elongate, shining. Thorax wider than long, apically sinuate, basally trun- 

 cate, laterally strongly convex, widest slightly before middle; median line 

 widely impressed; surface very rough with setigerous tubercles which are 

 completely hidden by the scales. Elytra with sides convex, wider than thor- 

 ax, intervals wider than striae. Undersides very densely squamose. First ab- 

 dominal suture angulate at middle. Length 8.5 9.5 mm." 



The above are the salient points of the original description by 

 Pierce, other than those given in the key. Described from three 

 specimens in the T. S. Nat. Mus. from Stone Creek, Lee County, 

 Virginia, and a single specimen labeled Indiana. Dury reports 

 sweeping it from weeds in low damp woods near Cincinnati, Ohio, 

 in June.

 carinate and with a large apical, triangular, glabrous, punctate area 

 containing the nasal plate. Scrobes deep, visible from above in entire 

 length, evanescent near eyes; scape reaching middle of eye, funicle elon- 

 gate, sparsely setose, all joints longer than wide. Thorax wider than long, 

 apically emarginate, basally truncate, laterally broadly convex, constricted 

 behind apex; surface covered with setigerous tubercles and densely squa- 

 mose. Elytra over one-half longer than wide; intervals convex; striae not 

 impressed, punctures round, each filled with a round scale; underside 

 densely clothed with lighter scales. Length 7 mm."
